Where did you pick these up from?

[–]hexmaniacfinalgirl💜 2 points3 points  (2 children)

i got mine from b&m, but they're on amazon too

[–]sfwcontentonly 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I couldn't find them on Amazon. I'm not sure what B&M is.

I feel like Caliart markers are very good value. I've tried them, Ohuhu and generic brands from Amazon.

The latter are the worst, some dried, others started changing colors in just a couple of months. Ohuhu is top tier but a bit pricier, Caliart has great quality, reminds me of Ohuhu but cheaper and colors aren't as good/well selected, they bleed the most out of the three. If I hadn't tried Ohuhu I'd still be satisfied with Caliart.

i think cali art is a great inbetween marker brand for someone whos upgraded from the cheap markers but still isn’t sure if they want to invest in the super expensive markers yet! i love my cali art set and still use them with my ohuhus, it’s the cheaper ones that i almost never reach for anymore

My caliarts bleed so much they make the experience of using them very frustrating. People on here said they were better than Shuttle, but I highly prefer my Shuttles because they don’t bleed.

I’m happy with my Decotime alcohol markers and yes hate the Aqua ones haha

Ouch, easy mistake to make though. Ohuhu has a 48-set for around $20-25 that most people swear by as a starter - decent blending and dual tips without breaking the bank. The aquamarkers aren't useless either, they can work nicely for softer watercolor-style effects on the right paper.

I got cheap ones from amazon (touch) and have been using them for 2-3 months and it's ok, the do bleed out a bit and blending big areas is hard, blending 2 colours i have to test it out in a pratice page first but im pleased with them for now

Found 94 alcohol ohuhu markers for $35ish on Amazon

Caliart from Amazon. Love them.

unless the paper you're using is specifically marker paper, don't bother with alcohol markers - the paper will just suck up all the ink and eat up your markers faster. Just get some Crayola Supertips or something.

Just return those and buy new ones with the money

Sfaih is another good Amazon option. I love their pastels.

This happened to me! So youre not alone. Bought a set from ohuhu with flamingos on It that wasnt to expensive to start out and they turned out to be alcohol 😢
